Information Monique B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has special needs like allergies, medications, or things that trigger them like skateboards. Otherwise I’ll care for them as my own while they are with me!

A typical day

Typically I’ll stick to the routine you provide. I love long morning and/or late evening walks to get fresh air and enjoy the outdoors. Indoor fetch is a classic, of course however, I also love a cuddle!

Simply want to show dogs some love!

Pet care experience

My love for dogs started the moment a stray wandered into my yard when I was a child - I hid him in the backyard for three days before my parents found out ! :) I’ve been caring for animals in various capacities for most of my life and have been part of the Rover community since 2022. As a PhD student who does Rover full-time, I have the flexibility to be available when needed. Whether it’s drop-ins, house-sitting, boarding, or walks, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule - including last-minute bookings. Your pet will always have my complete, undivided attention! I’ll always respect your home and routines, following your rules and adapting to whatever works best for your companion. I’ll treat your fur baby with the same love and care you would, and do everything I can to make them comfortable and at ease while you are away. A note to pet parents: If your pet has any special needs, allergies, medications, or specific conditions or triggers, please share them with me. The more I know, the better I can care for them! Can’t wait to meet you! 🐾

Monique was incredible! She took excellent care of my aloof kitty and moved so many packages into my apartment while I was away. I will absolutely rebook in the future! Thank you Monique! 💕

Monique is the best! We have worked with her in the past, and just recently she helped us out on very short notice. She has a great disposition and is always so kind and caring with our pup. She is also very trustworthy and reliable. Highly recommend!

Monique was so wonderful with my cat! He warmed up to her immediately and every picture she sent showed him being sweet and cuddly with her (he doesn’t even do that with me!) Monique was also very respectful of my home, very consistent/reliable. Will definitely book again!
